How about rethinking the whole idea of living in a culture that enjoys incredible abundance, yet a person cannot survive unless they 'sell' their time and their body/labour to someone else.

For more than a few, this may not just seem to be prostituting ourselves but also feel very much like it also.

Prostitution .... In a more general sense of the word, anyone selling his/her services for a cause thought to be unworthy can be described as prostituting him/herself. In the United Kingdom a prostitute might be considered as any individual, "who allows his/her body to be used for lewd purposes in return for payment".

Therefore, from a more objective perspective, the working poor and those forced by welfare programs to take 'make work' jobs are prostituting themselves since that can be deemed 'an unworthy' cause. Then there are telemarketers and other forms of high pressure salespeople who coerce others to buy stuff they do not need would be allowing themselves to perform lewd acts on the victim/customer.
